Method

GioFileis_native

Declaration

gboolean
g_file_is_native (
  GFile* file
)

Description

Checks to see if a file is native to the platform.

A native file is one expressed in the platform-native filename format, e.g. “C:\Windows” or “/usr/bin/”. This does not mean the file is local, as it might be on a locally mounted remote filesystem.

On some systems non-native files may be available using the native filesystem via a userspace filesystem (FUSE), in these cases this call will return FALSE, but g_file_get_path() will still return a native path.

This call does no blocking I/O.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE if file is native.
